TRC Services for Students

The Technology Resource Center is your first stop for technology questions and troubleshooting. The TRC will provide free troubleshooting for students' access and use of Hartwick College-supported applications (e.g, D2L, WebAdvisor, Microsoft Office, and SPSS).

The TRC is located in Clark 150. Our business hours are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. We can be contacted at 607-431-4357 or at technology@hartwick.edu.

Repair Services for students who purchased Hartwick-recommended computers through our recommended-vendor program (2009-2012)

Students who purchased Hartwick-recommended computers through our recommended-vendor program (2009-2012) remain eligible for four years of warranty and insurance-covered hardware service and software support at no charge. Students who purchased Hartwick-recommended computers through our recommended-vendor program are also eligible for a loaner computer if their laptop is at the TRC for repair.

Repair Services for students bringing other computers of their choice to campus

The TRC will provide free problem assessment to assist a student in determining what the nature of the problem is and whether it requires technician time to repair. Beyond that assessment, the following guidelines apply:
